Stick a soda straw into a glass of water, and from the side, the straw will appear to bend at the interface between air and water. That effect is caused by the different refractive indexes of the air ...

In recent years, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has become an important method for studying molecular interactions near the cell surface. To accommodate the trend of the ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a method that resolves molecular events specifically at or near the cell surface (see How It Works). Major microscope manufacturers, ...

Hu is using TIRF, a type of microscopy that will allow him to track the individual molecules as they come together to form the kinetochore. He can tag different kinetochore components with a molecule ...

Article Title High-speed TIRF and 2D super-resolution structured illumination microscopy with large field of view based on fiber optic components ...

Further, the team investigated how PITPNA regulated exocytosis and docking of insulin granules in dispersed human islet cells via total internal reflection (TIRF) microscopy.
